I learned a lesson on your point #2

I started my position on ScanSoft in late 2002, since I believed in their technologies. Unfortunately, the price fluctuated and then went down in the next two and a half years. In mid-2005, I kind of lost patience. In addition, we needed cash for some events. So I sold almost all of it, taking a loss. After two or three months, it started shooting up. If I were a little more patient or we hadn't needed cash at that time, it would have been a pretty winner.
